 Hi,
I've seen many comments about these plants and their hardiness, with some contradictions.
Do you have some feedback about the min temps they can tolerate?
Thanks, Etto.

 Hi Etto,

Depends on what Alocasia you are referring to.
However, some Alocasia can survive slight frosts. Here I had some giant taro recovering after 28°F/30°F one year. However, I don't know how low this species can take.
